Lorien Slaughter – Clinic Owner, Physiotherapist & Lead Pilates Instructor

Lorien is the founder and driving force behind the clinic, bringing together a unique combination of clinical expertise and a lifelong background in movement. He originally trained as a professional dancer at the Royal Ballet School before going on to perform in an international ballet career. This experience gave him a deep understanding of the physical demands of performance and sparked his interest in injury, recovery, and long-term movement health.

A pivotal moment in Lorien’s journey came when he sustained a near career-ending injury—fracturing his second metatarsal in a rock climbing accident. This experience shaped his approach to rehabilitation, giving him first-hand insight into the physical and psychological challenges of recovery, and ultimately led him to pursue a career in physiotherapy.

Lorien went on to complete his Physiotherapy degree at St George’s, University of London, combining his movement background with evidence-based clinical practice. He has since built extensive experience in managing complex musculoskeletal injuries, with a particular interest in hypermobility, chronic pain, lower back pain, cycling-related injuries, and dance rehabilitation.

Alongside Physiotherapy, Lorien has over 10 years of experience teaching Pilates. He completed his training with Polestar Pilates gaining both the comprehensive Studio Qualification and Rehabilitation qualification. He then completed specialist training in hypermobility with Jeannie Di Bon. After getting qualified he worked as a studio manager in London with Complete Pilates under the mentorship of Helen O’Leary a Polestar senior mentor and Physiotherapist. His approach bridges the gap between rehab and performance—helping clients not only recover from injury but also build strength, confidence, and resilience.

Lorien is passionate about making Pilates accessible to everyone. While his clinical expertise underpins his work, his sessions are not just about rehabilitation—they are equally focused on fitness, strength, and overall wellbeing. Whether you’re recovering from injury, aiming to improve performance, or simply looking to move and feel better, his approach is personal, supportive, and results-driven.
